New project!

#TheFarageFiles is a spoof comedy podcast featuring an AI voice clone of @Nigel_Farage 'in conversation' with our AD @finkennedy.

The project aims to raise awareness about the dangers of this technology to the creative industries.

Just realized that Musk is an anagram of Skum.

Please can we start #elonskum as a thing?

@Lauloknows Hi Laurence! Might you be able to follow me so I can send you a DM? I'd really like to ask you about Equity's AI awareness campaign - I have a project idea for you...

[Fin Kennedy @finkennedy]

@mrS_laughter Hi Steven. Foreign rights are passed on to my agent so technically aren't handled by CB but you can still acquire them that way (i.e. CB will pass your request on). The play is definitely available as an ebook in the US so you can read a copy for a few dollars I think..

[Fin Kennedy @finkennedy]

@mrS_laughter Thanks for your interest in the play, hope it works out!

[Fin Kennedy @finkennedy]

@mrS_laughter You can still apply for US amateur rights via @NickHernBooks it just takes a little longer to sign off

[Fin Kennedy @finkennedy]

@mrS_laughter Hi Steven, the play is part of the @NickHernBooks volume The Domino Effect and other plays for teenagers, which is listed on US Amazon so should be available, if not it can be ordered from their site directly here
